Health - 17 December 2006

I have been in contact lenses for over a month, now. The doctor just changed my prescription a little over a week ago. This morning I woke up and was startled to find that my vision was much more blurred without the contacts than before I began to wear them. I am somewhat alarmed by this. I have had to wear my glasses all day which I did not have to do before the contacts. Do you think that my eyes just have to readjust? I'm having second thoughts about these.

I have this semi-large pimple on the side of my right nostril. It really hurts. I tried to put some acne cream on it, but I really want it to go away, and fast.

What is a really great acne face wash or cream or whatever I can use?

Please help me. I thank you in advance.

Are the explanations and directions easy to follow/understand? What could be improved on and how? There is plenty of room for respectful replies. Thank you.

So I just had a dental checkup and I had one minute cavity that didn't even hurt when he filled it (after 2 years of not seeing a dentist). I told him that it burns when I eat candy or chocolate, so he sealed four teeth.....

do I still have cavities if it hurts to eat sweets?

I'm still developing and I find lumps in my breasts... My doctor 2 years ago said it was OK. They go away after a couple of days but I don't know if this is normal. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Please tell me!!!

Oh, and don't say the whole: Don't ask peopel over the Inernet, ask your mom.

I don't have a mom so you can't say that. Or aunt. Or grandma

I was at the dentist on Friday afternoon because I'd noticed black marks in the grooves of some of my molars and I thought they were cavities. The dentist looked at them and did some x-rays, and confirmed that one is definitely a cavity, but there are several which he says he's not sure about. He says that they might just be stains in the teeth, or they might be early cavities, but he can't be sure, and he wants to drill one of them to check........is that normal? Surely he should be able to tell the difference between a cavity and a stain, and shouldn't a cavity show up on the x-rays? Should I let him drill a tooth to check??

I have had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for about 2 yrs now, and was just diagnosed with Ulcers also. My medication seemed to have my IBS under control and I just started to take meds for the ulvers it seemed to work too. then out of nowhere my ulcers started acting up, so i guess my meds dont work for that. But my IBS soon follows and its a combo of the both that really ***** with me.

Can IBS act up because of the ulcers?
And I'm taking Plavacid for my ulcer, should I start taking a antibiotic instead could it be bacterial?

I am experiencing numbness in my little finger and ring finger and half of my left hand. I've tried shaking my hand and flexing my fingers, thinking maybe it was just the way that I had positioned my hand, but nothing will stop the numbness. It just started happening today, but it's been several hours. What could be wrong, and how can I fix it? Please help!

My daughter has epilepsy (w/ no family history of it). Due to the medication, she has a very hard time retaining information and concentrating to the point where she is failing in school. She probably has blurred vision because she trips and falls everywhere. With the medication she may have one partial complex seizure a month, without the meds she can have seizures everyday. Her teacher (bless her heart) and I work with her everyday to make sure she can stays caught up with the class. I help inside her class when I have days off. I'm going to talk to her neurologist but I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has experienced this and changed to a "better" medication that helped them more than hurt them. Thanks for all your help.
